Towards the String Dual of N=1 SQCD-like Theories

abstract:

I will discuss the construction supergravity plus branes solutions dual to 4d N=1 SQCD with a quartic superpotential. The geometries depend on the ratio Nf/Nc which is kept of order one. I will show how some field theory features like R-symmetry breaking, Seiberg duality, Wilson loops and pair creation, running of couplings and domain walls are encoded in the solutions.
